I open the door to Nathan's cell, I look down to see him lying on the floor with a black eye, "Come on, get up," I order.
"Oh man. I was having a great dream too..." Nathan replied I chuckle at him before helping him before grabbing his arms and putting them behind his back, "Sorry Nate, have to make it realistic,"
I lead him forward before the other guy grabs him from me, pushing him forward as I lead the way, "Hey, ah, any chance I can take a shower?" Nathan asks I wish I could but people would get suspicious that I'm helping a 'prisoner' and I can't get caught.
I stop by some stairs before turning to Nate ordering him to go up them, Nate looks at me and smiles, glaring at me playfully before I walk past him, walking up the stairs while Nate follows, suddenly Vargas comes out of nowhere, which in a way I'm sort of thankful for even though I hate his guts but walking past all the other inmates made me uncomfortable, why did I have to agree to do this.
I notice that Nate had stopped so I walk behind him and pushed him forward whilst Vargas ordered something to the inmates and gestured them to go, Vargas turns to Nate and announces, "Looks like you've got some fans," I roll my eyes as I walk behind Nate.
"Go!" Vargas orders and I push Nate through an entrance, he looks over his shoulder and I smile slightly shrug my shoulders, Nate turns back and carries on walking, Vargas grab Nate and said something in Spanish to another guard who is at a barred door. I wish I understood Spanish.
The guard opens the door after laughing about something, "I do speak a little Spanish, you know... Wait... What did you say?" I chuckle a bit, before following after Vargas and Nate, I nod to the guard who had just opened the door, only for me to get a wink back.
This is one of the reason's I hate being in this place, they all try and flirt with me, even the inmates and it's disgusting! but I have to do this, we shouldn't be here long, let's just hope we find what we're looking for.
As we all walk down the dark, dirty corridor, I look to my right to see two guards, beating another inmate up, these guards are just as bad as the inmates, they should be in the blue suits, not the brown ones.
"After you," Vargas says gesturing us to go through, Nate doesn't move so I push him so he moves down the steps with me following and Vargas following behind. I had no idea where we were going, Vargas only instructed me to go and get Nate, I didn't expect I'd have to come but I better listen to his orders, I don't want a beating like that poor guy was having.
Vargas walks past opening another barred door but this time there was no corridor but a beautiful view of the outside of the prison has been taken over by plants, the plants brought the beauty out of prison and the destroyed building.
"Okay. Take these cuffs off or what?" Nate asks and as I remember why we're here in this part of the prison, I don't understand why Vargas didn't tell me, oh well at least we're getting closer to getting out of this prison.
"I want in," I hear Vargas say, Nate and I look at him, I look at him in a weird way, why is he saying this now? Nate, of course, questioned about it and Vargas basically wants in, on something we're looking for this is why we're down here.
"Vargas... you agreed to help us get here, in and out, that's it," I say as I stand next to Nate, with my hands on my waist, staring at Vargas, I just don't get why he wants 'in' now. "Just? I'm sticking my neck out for you gingos..."
"Yeah and Rade is paying you a lot of money for your trouble," Nate replies as Vargas walks in front of us, bring out a yellow, folded envelope. "You wasn't supposed to open that!" I snap once I realised that he had opened it, he agrees and told us he wasn't supposed to take bribes, I'm not going to lie, he has a point, I always try to get away from bribes but somethings it difficult.
"All right, but just be careful with that, it's three hundred years old," Nate says as Vargas takes out the paper, Vargas looks between Nate and I and shock the paper open, he's so annoying, we should have got someone else to help us, not this asshole.
"I was a member of Captian Henry Avery's crew... You know who that is?" Vargas asks once he read some of the writing of the paper, Nate and I nod before we both tell him that Avery was a pirate.
"The pirate who pulled off the biggest heist in history... and got away with it, I look him up," Vargas says, yeah amazing I think to myself as I roll my eyes, my hatred for this guy is growing, Nate properly feels the same thing.
"Over four hundred million dollars worth of gold and jewels. All from one single ship. Uh... the "Gunsway"
"We understand the story, all that you just told us, we already know," I tell Vargas, with smirk, Vargas just turns his back and finally told us that he wants to be rich basically, could have just told us, Nate says something about actually going up there, and if something around three hundred years old, he could talk with Rafe and Vargas finally took the cuffs off of Nate's wrist and allowed us to go searching for the three-hundred-year-old 'riches'.
"Please tell me, we're not going to allow Vargas 'in' on this?" I ask once we found the highest cell, Nate turns towards me and replied, "Of course not! He wouldn't let us go if I didn't agree," I nod my head as I look around Burn's cell, letter Vargos had, was written by him before he was executed, hanged in fact.
I look all over to see symbols and numbers on the walls in Burns cell, this has to be something good, "These things on the walls has to be something," I announce trying to figure out what these are about, I turn to see Nate looking at the letter, I walk over to him and looked to see the same symbol of the moon and sun on the wall in front of us, yeah I was right, these are something.
"The first symbol is ten," I announce pointing to the top of the wall before turning back to Nate who had just found the second symbol with the number two, it took us a little bit to figure it out and we had basically added the numbers up, making twelve and the two symbols were together and that's where we found something amazing, it's a cross and it's definitely something.
"We better get back before we Vargas thinks we done a runner with his 'riches," I say as I open the door to Burns cell and headed back to where Vargas was waiting.
"You made it," Vargas announces once Nate and I jump down from the roof now above us, "What'd you find?" He asks as Nate and I take a few deep breaths from all that climbing, Nate and I walk up to Vargas as he starting to get impatient.
"There wasn't anything there," I announce with a fake frown, Nate nods and told him that the cell was picked clean, "Are you sure? Were you looking in the right place?" Vargas asks but we disagreed as Nate tells him that it could have been in another tower, but collapsed years ago.
I push back a strand of my brown hair which is tied up in a ponytail but part of my fringe had fallen out as Vargas tells Nate, who asked about some files and Vargas said he'd have a look before he cuffed Nate and guided us back to where the other guards and inmates are.
"Hey," I say once I see Nate, Sam and Rafe standing in room, in a circle talking, I look down to Nate's hand the cross we had found in the cell, Rafe tried to take it out of Nates had but he pulled back before Sam allowed Rafe to have a look.
"How are you doing?" Sam asks as Rafe examines the treasure. I nod my head with a smile, "I'm good, working my ass off, I wish I had become an inmate," Sam rolls his eyes before turning to look at me with his arms cross.
"You do realise the guards basically do nothing. You're getting off easy,"
"Really? You try having guard, inmates trying to get into my pants every minute of the day... Actually, don't answer that, I know how much you love the attention," I reply, Sam raises an eyebrow and smirked before we both turn to look at Rafe.
"All right you two enough flirting," Rafe says as he carries on looking at the cross, "We're not flirting!" Sam and I said at the same time, we both look at each other before looking away, awkward. I do like Sam, not just like a friend, basically have a crush on him and I've had feelings for him for a while but I know he doesn't like me back so I always deny them.
"It's hollow. Why would one of Avery's men go through the trouble of hiding a cheap crucifix?" Rafe questions but the cross isn't a crucifix but the man on the cross isn't Jesus since he has no crown of thorns but he is tied to the cross. Nate quickly makes Rafe read the back of it, he listens and Sam quickly translates it once he read it.
"We receive the due rewards of our deeds," Nate agrees so Rafe and I know he's right, I nudge Sam, "Look at you," Rafe says, Sam turns to look at him and responds, "There's a benefit of growing up in a Catholic orphanage. It's Saint Dismiss,"
"Wait... Saint Dismas, the penitent thief," I say, I didn't expect the 'Good Thief' is involved with this, I remember reading something about Saint Dismas but Rafe didn't understand so Sam and Nate explained about one of the people on the cross next to Jesus is basically him.
Sam suddenly starts laughing so we all turn to look at him, "Have you just figure it out?" I ask with a smile and by the look on Sam's face, he had. "You have, haven't you?" I question again and this time Sam nods. "There is a Cathedral of Saint Dismas... in Scotland.
"Wait," Nate starts looking between us all, "The last sighting of Avery was in Scotland."
"It can't be a coincidence," Sam laughs as Rafe turns back towards us, "You know, I had my doubts about you three. But..." Rafe hands the cross of Saint Dismas, the good thief, "Let's find Vargas. Get the hell out of this shit hole,"
I smile at the fact we could finally get away, I never felt so happy to leave a place in my entire life but it disappeared when we hear someone whistle as four inmates come around the corner, one of the guys was the one that Nate was fighting.
"Let me guess, this is the guy you picked a fight with?" Sam asks before we all stopped realising we're surrounded, after thinking this could get better, it just gotten worse.
